To the Voters of Ratio iosm
y-
I hereby announce myself as a candi
date to represent you in the lower branch
of the next General Assembly. To yon
I submit my claims, and at your hands
I expect support. In asking your votes
Ido it, well knowing that you have a
perfect right to inquire into the fitness
of the candidate for the position to which
lie aspires. Candidates frequently, in
presenting themselves to the people tor
their suffrage, announce that they do
so at the earnest solictations of “Many
Friends,” do not claim any thing of that
kind. lam not the candidate of anv
man or any set of men, ring or clique,
but of my own free will and accord,
claiming to he simply the candidate of
the whole voting population of the coun
ty. On making this announcement]
w ith it distinctly understood that I shall
run the race through, if I should not re
ceive but one vote. Should you honor
me with your vote anrd edect me to the
position to which I aspire, I promise
to serve you to the best of my ability.
While dealing with national affairs, wt
will watch with vigilance the interest
of the whole people, and state matters
shall not be overlooked. Earnestly so
liciting your vote*, I am respectfully
your obedient servant,
T. J. Lchpkin.

r The Alabama Campaign--Creen
backism Exposed.
Mr. W. M. Ed wanly, editor of the
Montgomery News-Item, makes some
curious revelations in regard to the green
back campaign which has been going on
in Alabama under the auspicios of ('em
gressman Weaver, who is the presiden
tial candidate of the greenback party.
Mr. Edwanly, as a member of the inde
pendent greenback labor party of Ala
bama, had every opportunity to make
an investigation. He was admitted to
the councils of the leaders, and had sev
eral confidential interviews w ith Weaveiv
At Birmingham, Weaver communicated
to Mr. Edwardy the real purpose of the
greenback party, and the latter became
convinced that Weaver—who was a
rabid republican before be became a
greenback—is really working in the in
terest of the republican party. Mr. Ed
wardy then begun his investigations and
the result confirmed his suspicions.
The expenses of Weaver, the greenback
candidate, are paid by the republican
comnimiuee, a ltd the greenback cam
paign, from beginning to end, fa carried
on in the interest and through the influ
ence of republicanism. So far as Ala
bama is concerned, Mr. Edwardy de
clares the campaign in that state is a
dating and Srkilifully managed plot to
place the state administration in the
hands ami under the control of the re
publicans; and he charges that the lea
ders oi the greenback labor party are in
ibe pay of the republican party. Mr.
Edwardy charges, moreover, that Wea
ver is in daily comm unicat toil witli the
New York Times; that his movements
are directed by a committee in Wash
ington Ci y; that Weaver’s expenses are
paid by monied men of the north; that
tlic greenback executive is in communi
cation with the national republican ex
ecutive committee; and that the two
committees will meet in secret secssion
in Chicago on the 9th of August. 1 his
piece of infoimatioh was communicated
to Mr. Edwardy by Jesse Harper, a mem
ber of the greenback national committee.
General Weaver and Mr. .Da La Matyr
arc both to he present at this joint con
sultation. It is the present intention ol
the two committees not to pttt ft repub
lican electoial ticket in the field in A!a-
I Lama, hut to announce a greenback elec
j total ticket, with the seCrfet understand
ing that half the electors are to vote for
Garfield, in the eVcnt that the greenback
ticket in Alabama is successful. Mr.
Edwardy charges that the republican
national committee lias promised to aid
the grCenbackers financially in the Ala
bama campaign, and the two committees
which meet In Chicago on the 9th of
August are to be determined whether the
amount to be employed in Alabama shall
be $25,000 or $50,000.
Mr. Edwardy’s article is cttifflilly
prepared, and it is a complete and crush
ing exposure of the intentions of the
greenback leaders. He has demonstrat
ed beyond all question that the green
back labor party is mere republicanism
in disgiu.se. llis charges are circum
stantial, and he accompanies each with
the proof. It is to be hoped his candid
but careful statements will be brought
to the attention of every democrat in
Alabama, There is no salvation for the
south, or for the country, save in the
success of true democratic principles.
Greenback ism, or any other ism, is, at
this juncture, a snare and a delusion,
in Alabama, it is directly in league with
republicanism, and if the people are mis
led, it is their own fault. —Atlanta Con
st i tut ion.
We want oir greenback friends in this
county to weigh the abqpre article well.
It is not a “campaign lie,” but a bold and
fearless exposition ]|y a prominent mem
ber of the greenback party o? Alabama.
Weaver is a paid agent ol the republican
executive committee, lie has not the
interest of the people in view, but is la
boring directly against them by playing
into the hands of the republicans. Let
our greenback friends beware, for a vote
for Weaver means a vote for Garfield.
HANCOCK’S
LFTTFII OF ACCEPT-
A A CE.
New Youk, July 30.—-The following
ivs generol Ilaneock’s letter of accept
ance:
Governor’s Island, New York city,
July 25.-—Gentlemen: 1 have the hon
or to acknowledge tfie receipt of your
letter, of July 13, 1880, apprising me
formally, of my nomiiuitkm-txt the office
of president of the United Sfat 08 by
“the national democratic conveution’ -
lately assembled at CincHimtth I ac
ceptthe nomination with grateful appro
ciatiou of the confidence reposed fit me.
The principles enunciated by tlic con
vention are those i have cherished in the
past and shall endeavor to maintain it
the fa tine.
'Lite thirteenth, fourteenth and fit
-1 teenth amendments to the constitutson
of the United States, embodying the re
suits ot the war for the union, are invi
olable. If called t-o tlie presidency 1
should deem it my duty to resist, with
all of my power, afcy to impaii
'or evade the full force a-ml effect of the
constitution, t wkich, in every article,
section and amondurent, is the supreme
law of the land. The constitution forms
the basis of government of the United
States. Powers granted by it to legis
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments, define and limit the authority ol
the general gouernment. Powers not
delegated ty the United States by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it to th<
States, belong to tlte States respectively
or to tho people. The general and Statj
governments, each acting in its own
sphere without trenching upon the law
ful jurisdiction of the other, constitute
the union. This union comprising the
general government with general powers
and State governments wklr State pow
ers f#r purposes' local to States, is a
polity, the foundations of which were
laid in the piofoundest wisdom. This
i the union our fathers matle and which
has been so respected abroad and “O be
nificeut at home, liied by blood anil
fire it stands to-day a model form of free
popular government, a political system
which, rightly administered, has been
and will continue to be the admiration
of the world. 2d ay we not say nearly
in the words of Washington: “The
unity of the government which consti
tutes n-s as one people, is justly dear to
us. It is tlte main pillar in the
of our real independence, the support ol
on safety and prosperity, and of thai
liberty we so highly prize aud intend ai
every hazard to preserve.”
But no form of government, liowcvei
carefully devised—no principles, how
ever sound—will protect the rights u
the people unless their administration h
faithful aud cfliucut. It is a vital priu
rcipel in our system that neither fraud
nor force must he-allowed to subvert the
lights of the jieoplte. When fraud, vio
lence, or incompetence controls, the no
blest constitutions and wisest laws are
useless-, 'ldie bayonet is not the fit in
strument for collecting the votes of free
men. It is only by a full vote, a free
Igllot and a fair cohrtt that the people
can rule in fact, us required by the theo
ry of our government. ’lake this foun
dation away and the whole (structure
falls.
Public office is trust, Rot a bbunty be
stowed upon the holder. No incompe
tent or dishonest person should ever be
intrusted with it, or if appointed, they
should he promptly ejected. Th'O basis
of substantial, practical civil service re
form must first be established by the
people in filling elective offices. If they
fix a high standard of qualificatiohs for
office, and sternly reject the corrupt and
incompetent, the result will he decisive
in governing the action of the Servants
whom they intrust with the appointing
power.
The war of the union was successfully
closed more than fifteen years ago. All
classes of our people must share alike in
the blessings of tiniau, alid arc equally
concerned in its perpetuity and in a prop
er administration Of public affairs. We
are in a state of profound peace. Hence
forth let it he our purpose to cultivate,
sentiments of friendship and Hot animos
ity against our fellow Citizens.
Ohr material inffcrest, varied and pro
gressive, demand our constant and united
vigilance.- A sedulous and scrupulous
care of the public credit, together with
a wise and economical management ol
our governmental expenditures should be
maintained in order that labor may be
lightly burdened, and that all persofis
may be protected iu their rights to the
fruits of their own industry. The time
has come to enjoy the Substantial bene
fits of reconciliation. As one people we
have common interests. Let us encour
age the harmony and generous rivalry
among our industries, which will revive
our languishing merchant marine, ex
tend our commerce with foreign chan
tries, assist our merchant manufacturers
and producers, to develop our vast nat
ural resources and increase to prosperi'y
and happiness of our people.
If elected I shall with the divine fa
vor labor with what ability I possess to
discharge my duties with fidelity accoid
ing to my convictions, and shall take
care to protect and defend the? Union,
and to see that the laws he faithfully
and equally executed in all parts of the
country alike. I will assume the re
sponsibility fully sensible ot the' fact that
to administer rightly the function!? of
the Government is to discharge the high
est duty that can be devolve upon ap
AincrCSn Citizen.

Harrow Escape Of a Latlj .
: On the night of the 2Gth ai tlie horns
of a well known citizen of County,
there recurred an incident which TaniS
well near being a tragedy. Tip; hus
band being absent on important /hsincss
and no one present but tho wife, a color
led man and a gentleman stopping at the
house.
' After supper all was tranquil and
still except tlte occasional rattle of ft
spoon or knife as it went thiough the
usual pi ocess of cleaning, and old Mor
pheus w hispering in the ear?of that qui
et and contented family that he ivas
’about ready to enfold them in his arm? !
for the night. When lo! a cry—uml sl
cry of distress, and oh, honor, it was a
cry of a female voice like “Radical*
weeping for her children and-would not
be comforted beeause they wete not.”
Of course the lady of the house with
light iu hand went to the rescue, aftbrj
arriving at the scene of tlm disturbance,
(which was an oht out house',) upon
searching diligently for the intruder he
was at last discovered. The lady is
usually of a very deliberate turn, but on
this occasion called for help; whereupon
the gentleman in the house (being of a
very gPffJant natrtre and possessed of un
usual bravery when the distressed voice
of the female is heaid) rushed frantreal
ly out determined to do or dare auything
lor bis kind mistress- sake. When he
arrived, great heavens, what a sight pre
sented itself to his wild, determined eyc.-
There stood the lady in one coiner of
the room with a long handle shovel in
hand calling pitiously for helf. Lite
monster that caused this alarm was be
tween the door and its only occupant, its
glitteiing eyes glaring derceiy at his.
What did this brave man do under tlte
iciicustances? Why, he rushed in hero
ically passed tho enenmy, not careing
for self (although very handsome) gras-po
edthe spade fronrtlic ladies hands afnd
demolished the monster who sorutlilcss
„iy disturbed the domestic felicity of that
f family. After he was killed and laid
I'iut he measured six feet nine inches.
It was discovered that lie had eatm |
nearly all the young chickens just hatch- j
ed out, and but for the alarm of the “pa-1
rent bitG,” would have eaten them all.'
Th) only excuse ihrs defender has fid i
“tfkingthat which he cannot return,”
is tlfat he obeyed tlutt divine injuniion;
“The seed of tnan shall hi.use the
serpents head” whereupon he bruiseth j
The gentleman who acted such a gal
lant, daring part in this affair should he
given a vote of thanks by the ladies ol
Dade, and if utimraried some wotnari
ought have him, if for nothing else bht
to kill chickbn snakes. PetuH.
